| Gallery Press drops a Deuce on the reading public. |
In last week's installment of Ed Wood Wednesdays, we continued indexing Pendulum/Calga/Gallery Press titles with a
listing of all titles filed for copyright in 1973. It was a time of
transition, with the pillars of Pendulum and Calga disintegrating early in
the year. Gallery Press (previously a Calga d.b.a) incorporated in
the late winter/early spring of 1973, and though the d.b.a. Edusex survived into the latter part of that year, there was solely
Gallery by 1974, with all magazines under the Gallery Press imprint,
published and filed for copyright by Gallery Press, Inc. This amounted to fewer than 60
issues across 37 titles, some carrying over from previous imprints,
some new with wonderfully fanciful titles, including the
resurrection of the incredible Heads
Up. A pair – pun intended – of issues of Sam,
solely featuring the otherwordly Roberta Pedon, also appeared in 1974. In all, Gallery's output in 1974 was less half of what was published by
Pendulum/Calga/Gallery the previous year.
